Augusta, Maine, USA
The Capital city of Maine began as an early colonial settlement on the Kennebec River. It later became an industrial hub and is now divided into several sectors. Augusta wishes to tie these sectors together through their shared history using a common project, The Museum in the Streets. Two separate but related tours have been installed in 2008 and 2009. A third related tour is currently in development. Visitors and inhabitants will soon be able to walk around and discover the stories behind striking industial buildings or meander along pleasant river walks.
